This is the best way to reinforce a body,this is how I do my bodies, I also have used the clear gorilla tape on my other bodies just to try another method,plus I was outta shoe goo,lol! Great info vid👍👍👊👊📹📹oh ya I also shoe goo the white body washers under the holes n that helps not blow out the whole where body posts come threw,xmaxx no body posts so u don’t have to worry about it
Awesome video! Question I have is when you lay 3 layers of tape do you apply the shoe glue after the first layer and then wait how long until applying the second layer of tape?
I tried this process to my new Xmaxx 8s and the dry wall mesh tape would not stick. Not sure if the brand of tape that I bought is the problem? The only prep I did was wiping the surface with alchohol first. What brand of tape did you use? Any other tips to get the tape to stick? I know you mentioned painting it but didn't think I had to do it on this body? If so, what paint should I use? Thank you for the great video and your help in advance!
I just received those Shock Covers today. I gave you a Shout Out on my video. I'll upload it in a couple of days im editing as we speak. Thanks again for the info.
Not a problem, you're more than welcome. Thank you for the shout out I look forward to seeing the video. If there's anything I can do to help support your channel then please let me know.
@@d252428q ahh yh that is what I was already worrying about I will certainly follow your steps in the video! thank you so much for reply, much respect.
Wow, the difference between then and now and it’s only been a year. These days it’s just straight up Russian HDPE bodies on every Xmaxx out there! You were ahead of the game though and still are. 😆
I'm not sure which is easier, better or lighter, buy here in the States a guy used Gorilla Tape on the entire under side of the body. I do think the Gorilla tape would be cheaper.
I buy them off eBay from bolt base. Make sure that you get A4 stainless, that's machine grade. Funnily enough I have just finished editing a video on stainless screws.
Good video good information thank you
Thank you you're welcome

Cheers mate. Glad you found it helpful.
I put the goo under some body washers on my Maxx
I tried doing the gorilla tape on the xmaxx body. It has lasted longer but the body still started cracking in the rear.
I did the same drywall tape , but instead of shoe glue I used clear silicone does the same job and cheaper and easier to get hold of.
Awesome video! Question I have is when you lay 3 layers of tape do you apply the shoe glue after the first layer and then wait how long until applying the second layer of tape?
You can apply multiple layers at the same time, theres no requirement to wait and if you have enough then goo on each layer is the best way
@@d252428q Thanks!

Your thumbnail pictures look very professional
Thanks! I do everything on my cell phone. Lol!
Wow I struggle on a computer lol
Lol! I have the Galaxy Note7. I record, edit, photoshop, and music all on my phone. I have a bunch of aps that I use.
Where did you get all your RC screws
what about doing it with fiberglass and epoxy hars? does the shell handle it? hope for someone to tel me
Fibre glass is too brittle. You need to maintain the the flex
Yeah I've seen people do that but the fibre glass shows through the paint

How did it hold up?
Really well
I'm not sure which is easier, better or lighter, buy here in the States a guy used Gorilla Tape on the entire under side of the body. I do think the Gorilla tape would be cheaper.
I did that and added shoe goo to the body holes right before I put a washer on to help hold even better.. hopefully I never have to take it apart lol
@River Ryan thats a good tip? Id rather go outside and have fun than watch TV but thats just me
You have shock covers for sale?
Where is the hex set from?
It's an arrowmax set available from modelsportuk
what stainless set is that?
It isn't. I just buy 100 A4 stainless screws each time I need a new type.
gotcha..what brand do you buy?
I buy them off eBay from bolt base. Make sure that you get A4 stainless, that's machine grade. Funnily enough I have just finished editing a video on stainless screws.
awesome can't wait too see it!
Gran video like y saludos
Aren't you going to put washers on top of the body so they don't pull through
